3/5⭐️

The vibes were there! Think Hasbin Hotel/Helluva Boss with a family summer mystery added in. If you are a person who usually likes morally gray characters and multiple POVs, this book may be for you. Also, very short chapters are a plus!

Please check the content warnings before reading!

This book is two intertwined narratives told back and forth throughout, before they eventually come together. For a supernatural/horror/thriller/dark comedy, the writing and exploration of humanity in the characters is beautiful. This story asks us what it means to be a good person vs. a bad person and how to know what kind of person we want to be. Other themes explored include guilt, grief, and love. This was the best of both worlds for me as I enjoy a thriller grounded in reality just as much as a dark comedy set in Hell.

Man. What a letdown of a book. Initially I was drawn into the Hell/Earth storylines. But the Earth storyline just does a lot of word-dump explanation of events in the last 25% of the book. And the Hell storyline.... It felt like it could have been entirely removed from the book and it wouldn't have changed anything about what was going on with the Harrison's. 
All in all I feel like this was an interesting concept with potential, but wasn't executed in any impressive manner.

This book would’ve been better as a thriller without any of the paranormal/hell/demon stuff. It sounded cool but those were the parts that bored me. Reading about the family on earth was interesting, but overall could’ve been done better.
